A story is told Of a man Of very silent
DISPOSITION who driving in his gig over n
bridge, turned about and asked his servant if

The man replied, Eyes, sir"
Nothing more was said on the subject till

turned again TO his servant and said,

WOMB of the Telegraph Operators.

I presume there is a more appreciate diff
ference in telegraph operators than in any
other class Of workers in the world. The old
timers delight in talking of receiving fifty
words "A minute, and sigh YEARLY as they re-
fer to aud lang syne and the decadence of
speed in the present generation. This is all
very well but thirty-fve words per minute
is considered far above the average, and
when an operator is receiving even that num-
Der he is pushed and frequently resorts to alb
breviation. Lady operators as a rule are ac-
curate, but are physically incapable of the
heavy work entailed by press reports for city
papers. Put lady operator at the instru-
ment in a small city where pony reports are
ceived and she will take twenty words n min
ute and do it well But when it comes to
using the stylus on manifold, where a large
number of copies is to be taken, lady does
not possess the requisite physical strength to
accomplish the task Operators are eccentric,
and their style of work differs greatly. Once
they become set in a certain channel they
never change, and while experience gives
them better control Of their work, there is 10
perceptble improvement in penmanship.
Telegraph operators who can carry on a con-
versation and receive at the same time are
very scarce. Cor. Globe Democrat.

Memory of Faces.

There are as few people who can remember

a large number of thesl people are not ON

a person must know them and not stop them

a faculty for it or not, and when person

talking about something he don't know any
thing about. The other day friend of mine

street barber shop yesterday. Besides beirg
good scholar and jolly playmate Paddy
was the best marksman with SNOWFALL in
the school. AT the noon recess one day Pad
dock and several OF the boys got together TO
have snowballing contest on the playground.
The battle had ragged for fifteen minutes or
so, when one of the boys saw the principal of
the school walking down the middle of
the road on his way home TO dinner. He
wore tall, black plug hat which sac upon

dock who saw the teacher almost as soon as
anybody, suggested that we give him a
volley. The boys demurred. Paddock then
said he would take a long range shot at the
hat just for luck Scoopng up two handfuls
of soft snow the embryo statesman nodded it
into perfect sphere, and taking careful aim
shot it after the retreatng pedagogue with
remarkable accuracy. The ball hit the tile
amidships and scattered the wreck ten feet
away The teacher looked round 10 discover
his aSsaiant, but there was no one in sight.
When school was dismissed that afternoon
The principal related bis noon experience, and
declared that there was only one boy in the
school who could throw "a SNOWFALL $50 feet

Paddock, and, without waiting to take the
customary rule, the teacher seized an apple
sappling as big round as a baseball club, and,
taking the champion sarksman by the collar,
he larruped him until both stood in cloud
Of dust. Paddock never threw any more
